## Resource

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, a new poll reveals a troubling trend: younger generations feel disconnected from the nation’s ideals, questioning whether the American Dream still exists or if the system truly rewards hard work. Many blame politicians for eroding the foundations of representative government and weakening the safeguards the founders built — all while a shared national culture fades, leaving communities uneasy and unity harder to achieve. Amid the fireworks, a deeper conversation is unfolding about what America really stands for today. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
